What is significant about the fact that Asian and Middle Eastern Studies is an interdisciplinary major?

The AMES Program encourages students to design majors around a geographical, cultural or historical center. This is especially important for students who wish to combine extensive language study with knowledge of other disciplines. The faculty's primary geographical specializations are East Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Central Asia.

At present the Program recommends degree concentrations in Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, South/Southeast Asia and East Asia. Within that thematic framework, students are encouraged to design a program that includes numerous disciplines, with faculty who have research interests related to Asia or the Middle East. In addition, AMES provides a good framework for advanced students presenting adequate preparation to focus on Global Studies.
